UPDATED: JAN 8, 2023 Fles gedeeld door Benzai, geprobeerd met LiekevdV en Keukeman. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een medium bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en tequila. De smaak is vol, moutig, warm, gebrand en tequila.

UPDATED: DEC 20, 2022 12oz bottle. Pours black with brown lacing. Lots of roastiness, hint of chocolate. Nice bourbon in the finish. Hint of booziness. Quite bitter, almost no sweetness. Good.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2022 Solsletta 021122. Black color with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, alcohol, bourbon, licorice. Flavor is roasted malt, alcohol, bourbon, wood, licorice, molasses, dried fruit. Very nice and powerful beer.

UPDATED: NOV 2, 2022 Bottle. Thx Cunningham for this beauty. A black one, topped by a finger-thick tan head. Some lacing. The aroma has some boozy hints, bourbon and woody hints, with aromas of licorice, alcohol, roasted malts, bonfire and notes of toast, dark dried fruit and a dash of oat biscuits. It's full-bodied, lightly warming and with a touch of sourness. Roasted malts, licorice, bonfire, charcoal, some toast and dark dried fruit. Bread, biscuit and a touch of bourbon and wood. Some chocolate and coffee grit. Ever-lasting finish. A delicious one indeed, sure a beer I'd like to revisit. A true classic. 221102

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2022 Bottle. Pours black with a thick beige head that dissipates very slowly, leaving a film on the glass. Aromas of roasty malts, licorice, dark chocolate, dark fruit and a bit of coffee. Toasty malt flavors up front. Dark fruit, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice. Dark fruit with a bit of tangy cherry in the finish. Boozy alcohol warmth. Fairly clean mouthfeel for a beer this big; otherwise, leaves somewhat of a bittersweet coating on the tongue. Dark and lovely.
